PresS Opinions.

The odium which the government
officials are seeking to cast upon Colo
RADIO about the Indian trouble is
prompted largely by its desire to cover
up its own shortcomings. AS mat
ter of fact, both the State and Nation
al governments have been to blame
Denver Republican, Rep.
The remedy and the only one, for
industrial discomfort, is the removal
of everything that in any way inter-
feres with the free operation Of the
competitive principle, and to that end
all Americans, whether rich or poor,
hand laborers or capitalists, have
need to work together.-[New York
Commercial Advertiser, Rep.
The honest workingmen of this
country are closely watching the pro-
ceedings of the great Knights of La
Dor convention now in session in Min
neapolis. They have about made up
their minds that there is limit to the
rule or ruin business, and will go their
own way and let the jaw-smiths work
their own dethronement.- Lansing
Republican.
Good judges have expressed the
opinion that outside of New York
City the George votes will be more
Republican than Democratic, and that
in the whole State it is hard to tell
which party will be the net loser. The
only safe method of procedure seems
to be to make the best fight possible
and wait for the returns.- Washing
ton Post, Dem.
President Cleveland, when in In
dianapolis, told Mrs. Hendricks, in
casual conversation, that Mrs. Cleve-
land did not snub Gov. Foraker and
his wife, and had no intention of
showing them any discourtesy. Gov.
Foraker says he did not know he was
snubbed. These disclaimers of both
the parties of the first part and the
party of the second part ought to be
accepted as conclusive, and put the
mind OF the nation at rest Phila-
delphia Record, Ind.
The American concessions, how
ever, as they are called, and about
which so much has been written,
seem to labor under the difficulty
the American people, outside of
narrow and respectable circle of pro-
vincial bankers, know nothing of their
nature. This reserve leads to the un-
challenged circulation of all manner
of rumors in regard to their validity.
This is to be regretted, because if
anything good has been given to
Americans by the Chinese the Ameri-
cans would like to know it.-[New
York Herald, Ind.
Mr.. Powderly has the pluck of his
principles on the temperance question:
II will never take back one word l
have said on this subject" he de-
clared in his opening speech at the
Nation Assembly of the Knights of
Labor, "and L would say to all who
would leave the order from such a
cause, Col" The Knights are wise,
not only in enjoining temperance upon
its members, but in keeping their
order free from the control of saloon
keepers. The older political organi-
cations have felt this control bane-
fully.-[New York World, Dem.
Gen. Slocum commanded one wing
of Sherman's army on its "march
through Georgia" in the memorable
campaign which cut the Confederacy
in two and put Lees army in the wise
between that force, in the rear, and
Grant and Meade, with the army Of
the Potomac, in front. Sherman hay
ing declined to be candidate for
grand commander of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, some of the members
placed Gen. Slocum in nomination as
the next most distinguished and emf
nent soldier. But Slocum was a Dem
ocrat, and Slocum was defeated by
comparatively obscure man, and yet
there is continual ding-dong that
"there's no politics in the Grand Ar
my. ."-[ Philadelphia Ledger, Ind.
